Tim Luscombe’s adaptation of Mansfield Park now published by Oberon Books

Before we get back to posting about the Lefroys and Ashe, I thought you might like to know that the play adapted by Tim Luscombe from Jane Austen’s novel, and which is currently touring southern England in a Theatre Royal, Bury St Edmunds production, is now available to purchase. It has been published by Oberon Booksin paperback form and it is also available on Kindle as an E-Book.

In addition to the text of the adaptation, the book includes details of the cast and crew, a note on the production by the director, Colin Blumenau, and a note on the process of adapting Jane Austen’s most complex novel by Tim Luscombe.

If you cannot get to see this production, you might care to read it, as a substitute. I’m sure you are all imaginative enough to be able to join the dots….;)

That’s good news that I didn’t expect to see so quickly. This may just push me to finally get a Kindle, as I’ve maxed-out my bookcases! And the extras make it sound as if I was almost there to actually see it with you. Thank you, Julie.

Cathy, as you know I have a Kindle for three reasons.1) I need to read but I cant carry heavy books around with me.So this enables me to take my library with me wherever I am.2)I am running out of space for books,(AGH!) and, 3) being slightly disabled, I can’t manoeuvre large heavy books with any ease or comfort and so sometimes reading via Kinfdle is the only pain free only option for me.

More and more books are being released as E-Books on publication, and I like that.Ill never lose my love of holding a book:I’m simply grateful I can use modern technology to make my life a little easier ;)

I’m so glad you got to see it,Jane.Tim Luscombe does a wonderful job- it is a mammoth task, after all, to adapt this wonderful but complex novel. Krisin Atherton was a very interesting Mary Crawford:her scene in the chapel at Southerton was very well done.And I loved the deathly hush that followed when she asked “What gentleman among you am I to have the pleasure of making love to? Poor Mary always misjudging her rural audience.

And how lovely to see it in a theatre that has staged Lovers Vows many times in the early 19th century!Lucky you!
